Taking its name from the verdant forests that line the Indian Ocean’s edge, South Africa’s Garden Route captivates both tourists and locals alike. The 124-mile coastal drive offers stunning sights at every turn. Start your adventure by greeting peaceful penguins in Mossel Bay, then tour Cango Caves—a 20-million-year-old series of chambers hidden within limestone rocks. Rent a kayak and paddle down the breathtaking Storms River Gorge at Tsitsikamma National Park, and end the day with a glass of South African pinotage, a cross between pinot noir and cinsault, at Cape Winelands.
